Judge Christopher Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington on Monday will consider whether to lift a stay on one lawsuit and allow another to proceed, as well, with the diocese as a defendant. Lawyers for the sexual abuse victims have requested that the stay conferred by the diocese's Chapter 11 filing on Oct. 18 be lifted. This is a free content preview.
